G.I. Joe Condor Z25 Blueprints and Instructions

Part of working on my new book of G.I. Joe newspaper ads — which also featurings comics, commercials, catalogs, and other G.I. Joe marketing tools of the eighties — is chasing down reference materials for the book. I’m not yet sure if the Condor Z25 will appear in the book or not, but if it does then I’m one step closer to a great page design with these incredible blueprints.

Hasbro’s marketing team for this line really knocked it out of the park year after year, bringing kids all of the backstory and tiny details we needed to keep our interest high. File cards, blueprints, adventure/mission catalogs, all of these things as a whole gave us enough story ideas for playtime to never be dull.
